Firebird: Clicking mouse wheel on xml page makes window go blank.

Background:
On some xml pages, seems to be limited to those that don't have
associated style info, if you click using the mouse wheel (to get the
auto-scrolling effect), the page goes absolutely blank and has to be
reloaded (Ctrl-R) for the text to come back.

....this site wasn't the one I used. I usually use the one athttp://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
available on the bookmark menu in Firebird, and that number you gave me
didn't return the same page. "mozdev.org" also seems painfully slow from
where I am. I got the result eventually (after almost a minute), so I've
seen the bug report.

I tried a new search at bugzilla but couldn't find an exact match. Why
on earth are they using two different bug tracking sites?

Because Autoscroll is an add-on that's included with Firebird (but not
Seamonkey); it's not an official mozilla.org product and, therefore, all
development takes place on mozdev. Also, if you do submit a report to
bugzilla.mozilla.org, it will probably be marked as invalid.

I see. Okay, thanks. I'm not too involved in the different parts of
Mozilla. Personally, though, I think it would have been better to gather
all bug reports under one roof.
